The legal aspects of production documentation/product liability and the abolition of crown immunity. Part 1. Production documentation.

Abstract

The Manager of the SSD finds himself in the present day at a time of revolutionary change. One of the most immediate concerns is the preparation for competitive tendering: he may be organizing an in-house tender as well as setting up the specifications for the tenders. He may at the same time be concerned for his own future. He also knows that, next year, no fault liability, as a result of the Consumer Protection Act 1987, will be implemented. Already he is anxious at the possibility of court action as a result of negligence in re-using single use disposable items and he knows that no fault liability will lead to far greater problems.
